I think I have said something about this before. Most of my site visitors are based in China and so behind a Great Firewall. They cannot see Youtube videos, and in fact many video platform like metacafe,myspace,vimeo,veoh etc. There are some of them that can be watched the world over.
But the problem is that thumbnails can't show and nobody can that there is a video somewhere.
Pls can you something about this?

I think there is a database of approved sites with oxwall. So videos taken from those sites show thumbnails . I understand this database gets updated. But I don't know how or who does that.
I have same problem of no thumbnails on my site since a few videos are not from youtube

I have read somewhere that YouTube does not work in China.

Hello Purusothaman Ramanujam,
can't the videos be shown if any user uploads the videos to the website using the video uploader plugin?

Not possible because of the way video plugin is designed.
For questions unrelated to the actual thread open a new post. If related to any plugin, create in the plugin forum.
